2014 ICC World Twenty20 - Easy victory for Bangladesh

Bangladesh comfortably beat new-comers Nepal by eight wickets in the T20 WC in Chittagong on Tuesday. Chasing a modest target of 127, Bangladesh achieved it in 15.3 overs. 

Solid opening stand by Anamul Haque (42 off 33 balls) & Tamim Iqbal (30) washed away all hopes of Nepal. Later on some splendid batting performance by Shakib Al Hasan (37* with 4 sixes) and Sabbir Rahman (21*) ensured the team victory.

Bangladesh will now play Hong Kong in their last match while Nepal meet Afghanistan.

Nepal 126-5 in 20 overs (P. Khadka 41, S. Vesawkar 40; Al-Amin Hossain 2-17)

Bangladesh 132-2 in 15.3 overs (Anamul Haque 42, Shakib Al Hasan 37 not out)

Bangladesh won by eight wickets.
